Gain a clear understanding of the costs and financial assistance options available when exploring care choices.
Understanding the cost of care
Everyone wants the best care for themselves and their loved ones, but financial considerations are a crucial part of the decision-making process. If you’re unsure where to start in understanding the costs of home care services, we can provide an overview of average prices across the UK.
Depending on a person's needs, home care can be an alternative to residential care, offering support with personal care and everyday routines. We aim to help people live comfortably in their own homes for as long as this remains suitable for them.
What does home care involve?
Home care, also known as domiciliary care, means receiving agreed support in your own home rather than moving into a residential setting. This can include help with daily activities such as cooking, dressing, personal care and medication routines. We discuss each person's needs before confirming whether our service is suitable.
Is home care more affordable than a care home?
The cost of care depends on the type and amount of support required, where it is delivered and how needs change over time. Home care and residential care have different cost structures, so neither option is automatically cheaper for everyone.
We can explain what our service includes and provide a quote based on an assessment of your needs. Your local council can also explain whether you may qualify for a needs assessment or financial assessment.
